CD Ripping Services Compared

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the codec-schmodec dept.

RX8 writes "Designtechnica compares a number of CD ripping services and talks about the differences in services, price and which formats they will rip your music to. The guide compares 6 different services, all of which are somewhat different in what they do. Ripping services are gaining in popularity because they make it so easy to convert (a.k.a. rip) your entire collection into MP3 files for your portable media device."

    Do you want to have to prove that you own each one of the CD's you get accused of downloading?

    Not really. They have to prove that you copied a bunch of music. That you were legally entitled to is a defense and you'll have to prove it. Look at it this way, if they were to take you to court and demonstrate that you had downloaded 300 CD's worth of music from p2p, and you said nothing in your defense, you would lose.
